SOLD Gretsch G6120 1955 DSW Nashville

What's Hot

Selling my lovely 6120 Nashville DSW.

As many know on here I've been through loads of Gretsch's and this is as good as I've had. I bought this off everyones favourite service station lurker @DB1. He has tried to buy it back from me about once a week in the year or so of me owning it...He's been given dibs but he keeps buying 50s Gibson archtops so it's here on the open market.

The DSW stands for Dynasonic Western. It's basically the same model as the current vintage select 1955 6120 Gretsch offers.

Notice the Nashville signpost on the pick guard instead of the usual Chet Atkins... this was from that weird period when Chet was between Gibson and Gretsch. I actually prefer the little Nashville sign but it doesn't make much difference either way??

The guitar is from 2003 and is in lovely condition for its age the usual tarnishing to the gold hardware on the pickups and knobs but again I think it looks cooler for it. It's a light and resonant guitar and it really sings. 

Comes with its COA, Gretsch case etc.

Asking for £1900

Collected from SK4

    Every bloody week I've asked if you want to sell it. Every bloody week you said no. I even had to go and buy another one, then I bought two other Gretsches as well. Now you want to sell it.

    It's a lovely guitar - it's what I think of as a proper Gretsch sound - and Alex is one of my favourite car park 'companions'. o

    I honestly think Gretsch make the best looking guitars but I do think you have to go through a few to find a really good one! 

    This is a special one as far as 6120's go... It's super resonant unplugged but those Dynasonics are something else... Weirdly I'm pretty sure they are just the Gretsch stock ones but they have that special something, I've often wondered if they was changed out unknowingly to me for TV Jones or CS Seymour Duncans.

    Just a good day the factory I presume though.

    Not a popular opinion but I’ve always thought the best filters and dynas are the G brand ones. All the others have been a bit too smooth for my tastes. I like a little bite from my Gretsches

    I have the Chet Version of this from DB1, it's in the brighter orange, has Chet Atkins on the plate but other wise the same, as I'm sure you know. It's a f**king belter. 

    Someone needs to own this guitar for sure.

    Will be travelling from Manchester to Kent/ Margate on the 1st August - 7th if that helps anyone want to meet for the guitar.

    Manchester to Margate in six days - are you going in a Model T?  :#

    If you're on that route (or even if you're not) and you fancy a Gretsch with a real, proper Gretsch sound, this is it.
